Categories     Dessert     Cookies & Candy     Candy

Time 2h15m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup almonds (whole)
1 pound/2 cups butter (unsalted)
18 2/3 ounces/2 2/3 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pound chocolate (semi-sweet or bittersweet)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients. Preheat oven to 325 F.
  • Toast the nuts by spreading them on a cookie sheet and placing them in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes. Stir them every 3 to 4 minutes, and remove them once they darken and become fragrant. Let the nuts cool to room temperature.
  • Chop the toasted nuts finely with a knife or food processor .
  • Prepare a 12x16 inch cookie sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Combine the butter, sugar, water, corn syrup, and salt in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly to dissolve the sugar and melt the butter. Insert a candy thermometer and bring the candy to a boil, periodically brushing down the sides with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystallization.
  • Continue to cook the candy, stirring frequently, until it reaches 300 F, and begins to caramelize-about 20 to 30 minutes. If the candy appears to separate (with a layer of melted butter on top) stir vigorously to make it come back together again. Watch the candy as it approaches 300 F since it cooks quickly and can scorch at high temperatures.
  • Once the candy reaches 300 F, remove from heat and pour it onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula or spoon to spread the candy to an even thickness. Allow the toffee to begin to set, then spray a knife with nonstick cooking spray and score the toffee into small squares or rectangles. Allow the toffee to cool completely.
  • Once the toffee is cool, break it apart on the scored lines into small squares. The toffee can be left plain, or dipped in chocolate.
  • To dip the toffee in chocolate, begin by melting the chocolate . Place it in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it in one-minute increments, stirring after every minute to prevent overheating.
  • Dip each piece of toffee in the chocolate, either submerging it completely or dipping it halfway in, according to your preference. Place dipped toffee pieces on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the top generously with chopped nuts. Repeat with remaining toffee, chocolate, and nuts.
  • Place the toffee in the refrigerator to set the chocolate, about 20 minutes. Once set, toffee can be served immediately.

ENGLISH TOFFEE

This candy tastes wonderful and takes about 15 minutes to make. My sister and I did three batches in an hour one year for Christmas. I use a cast iron skillet and some times just a few of the almonds to help gauge the readiness.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality chocolate: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your toffee. Look for a chocolate that is at least 60% cacao.
  • Don't overcook the toffee: The toffee is done when it reaches a temperature of 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius). If you overcook it, it will be too hard and brittle.
  • Be careful when pouring the toffee: The toffee is very hot, so be careful not to burn yourself. Pour it slowly and carefully onto a prepared baking sheet.
  • Let the toffee cool completely before breaking it into pieces: This will help to prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

English toffee is a delicious and easy-to-make candy that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet treat that everyone will love. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet, give English toffee a try!
